Masons and their families and the widows and families of deceased masons, are invit- ed and expected to attend. It Is espec- ially urged that it be understood and remembered that this Is to be self supporting or basket supper, and in proportion to the care bestowed upon this part of the arrangement will be the success and sufficiency Of the sup per.

He was buried last Sunday evening in the Dover cemetery. A
 goodly number of friends attended his burial and wept to part with one so
 young yet so manly and promising. He will be missed at home foI there no toll or sacrifice was too great for him to procure comforts and happiness at home. He will be missed at school, for
 there, by his kind and obligating dis position. his high sense of honor and
 due regard for the rights and privileg- es of his fellows, he won the lsvs and
 respect of all his schoelmates. It was Indeed pathetic to see his schosimates and playfellows as they took the last | look at hls remains weep as if he had been A loving brother. The writer knew him since he was years old and

What might have been disatrous confiagration was happily averted on last Thursday by the prompt assistance and we'll directed efforts of the pupils in Prof. Baird's department of the pub lie school. The kitchen roof If the res- idence recently vacated by MT. Eb How ell, but now occupied by Mrs. H. Fl. Patrick and family, caught from q defective flue and was burning rapidly when discovered. The alarm was com municated to the school by Mrs. Knowlton and with commendable promptness Profs. Knowlton and Baird, with about twenty five pupils rushed to the scene and extinguished the fire before any great damage was done. Mrs Patrick had just moved in- to the building, from their country home, on account of our school facili- ties, and it's destruction together with their household effects, would have been distressing calamity. Profs. Knowlton and Baird and their pupils deserve unstinted praise for their time ly assistance.

 DOVER, Dec. IF, 1887.
 Uncle John Howard, Pope coun tvs oldest inhabitant, was born in Lincoln county, North Carolina, on the 24th day of September, 1901, where the early days of his life were spent. He removed from his native state to Georgia in 1926, where he married during that year, and after living in the latter state until 1858, he again moved, this time to Giles county, Tennessee, residing there for five years. He made his final move in l843, arriving Tn Dover { Pope county) on the 27th Of Octo. Der of that year. On the 24th oi September last "Uncle Johnnie" as he is famillarly called, was S7 years years of age. He is now living five miles northwest of Dover on place settled by himself forty-two years ago. He plarts and cultiyates a crop of corn and cotton each year, and to one unacquainted with him he has the appearance of man of 45 or 50 years, working as steadily as young man.
 A few weeks since Uncle Johnnie took his first ride on the cars, riding from Spadra, four miles above. When he entered the cars he raised his hat and addressing the passen- gers said: Ladies and gentlemen I am now 87 years of age aud this is my first ride on the cars; l live in Bougher Hollow, in Pope county have dsHk whisky and used tobacco constantly for seventy-fve years; am genuine Jefiersonian democrat, and am internationally opposed to short haired women and long. haired men," At the close Of his remarks, delivered in droll and infinitely humorous style, he was greeted with roars of laughter and every one in the car went and shook hands with him.
 Uncle Johnnie is far above the av craze farmer in intellectual sttsin menls and has always borne the rep utation of unhlemished integrit, l and honesty in his dealings.
